This popular sugar is NON-FERMENTABLE! Since your yeast can't eat it, you get sweetness, mouthfeel, and body added to your beer or wine. Keep in mind that your hydrometer will still read it as available sugar, so don't be surprised when your fermentation finishes with a higher ending gravity since this sugar will still be in your finished product. A standard recommendation is for 0.8 - 1.6 oz per gallon.
